Empty Private Message Trash?

[MelisaH]

Is there a way to empty the trash can in the Private Message area?

I've used 83% of my space.... so I deleted a bunch of messages - but I don't see how to empty the trash can, so it didn't give more space....

I think there is a faster way than this, but I am scared to push that button, so I am giving you the longer way.

Click on the Trash Can button (going into the Garbage, haha!).
Then, just to the right of the Time/Date column, you will see a little box. Click in that box. It will put check marks in all the other boxes. Scroll down to the bottom of your page and click on Delete the selected messages. Lather, Rinse, Repeat with the next page..... Does that make sense?
